Choosing Between My Hot Stepbrother Or His Rival My Bestfriend - Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Taylor Anderson
I have been worried about him the whole night cause it's unlike him not to come home, I kept calling his number even though I know he was not going to pick up, and after consistently calling he finally answered the phone, I thought he was going to give a good reason but he just blatantly told me to go to bed cause he's not coming home tonight.
Hearing those words from him ripped my heart apart, whoever say that it's easy unloving someone you used to love is a blatant liar, it ain't fucking easy, especially when I'm fucking living in the same mansion with him it's more like hell cause every damn time I'm fighting to control my feelings before it burst out,
I'm trying to unlove him in my head but Everytime it's like my heart is mocking me that he's the only man I'll ever love, but I'm not going to stop trying, from now on I'm going to continue going on dates until I find someone that can perfectly replace him, wait……
An idea suddenly pop into my head and that idea was a perfect plan, I wipe my tears immediately knowing that I already have the key to my problem, I quickly took my phone and anxiously texted Kelly
“Hey bestie, I have something very important to discuss with you tomorrow before class, come meet me at our usual coffee shop”
I know he would already be asleep by now but at least he's going to see it first when he wakes up in the morning. Now that I think about it Kelly has been by my side all these while and it never occurred to me that I have a perfect coach who can tutor and guide me on how to forget my crush, I'm not sad anymore cause I know that by tomorrow when I get to school, I will be one step ahead of forgetting Liam for good.
Filled with hope, vigor and happiness I made my way upstairs, as soon as I got into my room I went straight to taking off all my clothes and accessories, after which I entered the bathroom and took a cold shower cause it's been a long day, I came back to the room and as soon as my back hit the bed, I became sleepy and was ready to sleep off.
I suddenly heard creaking sounds on my door like it's being twisted and I fucking left it open, I did not close the door, what's going on, Liam said he was not coming back so who would it be, I wanted to stand up from the bed and go check, but I could feel that the person was close to opening the door,
I stretch my hand to the wardrobe and took the biggest hairpin I got, I hid it between my arms, waiting for whoever it is to come in, the door open and since my eyes are not fully closed I can see who it was, but I was shocked and became numb seeing it was Liam,
What the hell is he doing here, I thought he said he was not coming back tonight, I watched as he sat on the space beside me, I shut my eyes tightly I can't afford to let him know that I'm still fucking awake, I felt his hands brush past my face, my heart was reverberating at this point, suddenly I felt a kiss on my forehead, a fucking kiss!!!!!
Was I dreaming? No I think I'm hallucinating, I slowly peak one eye open and I was right, he was indeed placing a kiss on my forehead, as he began to pull back, I shut my eyes immediately and he gently pulled away he make sure not to make any noise, he left the room and close the door, immediately the door was closed, I opened my eyes wondering what just happened, my eyeballs popping out in shock, I touched my forehead where he kissed, Liam just walked in and kiss my forehead, is this the first time it's happening? Of course it has to be, it's not like he has spoken to me for the past two years and even if he's speaking to me now, it's always hard before he does it's almost like he's being forced so this is indeed his first time I think he's feeling bad for the way he spoke to me and wanted to make up for it
Then again it's confusing, if he wanted to make it up to me he should have waited for me to be awake, wait….I think I got the answer, I sat up from the bed immediately, the only reason why he kissed me is because he's drunk, I could smell the alcohol on him when he was close to me,
My face turned sour immediately as the realization hit me. I was momentarily happy for nothing. I should have known that nothing good comes from Liam, he's always out to scatter every little form of happiness that I have.
I tiredly lay back on the bed consoling myself that all it takes is tomorrow and I'll be one step ahead to forgetting Liam and move on for good, with that thought in my head I was finally able to sleep, I closed my eyes and slept off.
I woke up the next day feeling so enthusiastic about my plan and I cannot wait to get to school, I got ready for school that day and did not wait for Kelly to pick me up, I left early for school and messaged him to meet me in our favorite coffee shop, when I left Liam has not even woke up, that shows how early I left,
When I got to our favorite coffee shop I was the first customer the man was having,
“You're early today” He smiled serving me my coffee
“Of course uncle they said early to bed, early to rise”
“Wow, you look so positive today” He said with smiles and placed my coffee on the table
“I feel more than positive” I whispered and he smiled proudly giving me a thumbs up, as he left with the coffee tray, I was now sipping on my coffee when Kelly walked in
“Damn what's going on, is Angel visiting us today?” He screamed in surprise
“It's still early in the morning bring your voice down”
“Uncle!”
“Yes my dear,”
“Get my best friend Kelly his cup of coffee, the usual way he likes it lots of cream and less sugar”
“Okay I'm coming”
“So why are we here?” Kelly asked staring at me
“Hm, hm” I cleared my throat and leaned closer
“I need your help with something”
“What's that?”
“It's simple, I need you to coach me on how to stop loving Liam”
